This is a Blessing Artist model cornet in great condition.  There are no dents or dings and the lacquer finish is estimated at 95%.  The serial number dates the manufacture of the horn being 1955 so it’s approximately 69 years old but it looks and plays like new.  The last three digits of the serial number also appear on each of the valves.  It also features a locking mechanism on the tuning slide.  The mouthpiece is a Blessing 13 in excellent shape.  The case is also in superb condition with an enclosed storage compartment.  Also included are two keys for the case, a Yamaha polishing cloth, a bottle of Getzen valve lube, and a zippered leather mouthpiece pouch.  This is a beautifully playing cornet with smooth valve action and easy moving third slide.  An exceptional vintage horn. I accept payment only in accordance with Ebay policy.
